Chapter 50 - 50. The Level Jump
Walker had seen the system and noticed immediately that midnight had grown two whole levels!
Midnight was now level 4 and needed 800exp to get to level 5. Monsters stats are so high but their exp requirements will dwarf a humans in time.
Walker, Su, and Gil had reached level 6 slowly but surely catching up to Remey who was at level 7. They all needed 640exp to get to level 7 where as Remey needed 1280exp. Walker started doing the math and wondered what came after so many levels. Every system had different requirements that would show themselves over time. Walkers father had to continually gain experience but for him he got it just by being at his job. There had been master systems that after certain levels required special conditions to be fulfilled.
There were some like tamers that were required to strengthen their bonds with tamed monsters. Even the the ruling class systems would be based off of the strength of the country or forces they ruled. Within these strange requirements and conditions it was often found that the exp needed to level up would no longer double but become a constant cap. Bringing these thoughts together with the hero title multiplying the exp the party received it raised a question. If our exp was to become constant or bound by other rules of the system, would our growth continue to skyrocket?
The inter workings of the systems was a complicated creature to study and no amount of lifetimes could reach a truth behind it.
"Hey heelloooo there... Ah welcome back to reality." Gil was waving his hand in front of walker who had been too focused on his thoughts to hear anything else. "We were just saying we should find a quest to take tomorrow, maybe travel somewhere to take advantage of these potions, our title, and maybe even take the adventurers ranking test so we can advance a tier as a party. With our level increase it just makes sense."
Walker realized he had been too focused on ten steps ahead and neglected the first step ahead. "I'll talk to Clara in the morning, the test always sends a party out to a certain area to gather specific monster parts as evidence. We may be able to prioritize one with the most benefits. But for now let's go to sleep, I feel like we all have a lot to think about and rest could clear our minds." Everyone agreed with this plan, mostly because they had been snickering a bid at midnight who was falling back to sleep as they all talked.
The party went to their rooms realizing just how late it had gotten and slept the night away.
As soon as the sun broke Walker, Su, midnight, Gil, and Remey were woken by a system message,

The clamor within the mansion was enough to wake the dead. Each one of them rushed to get dressed and immediately ran to find one another. This hero title had just thrown something crazy at them.
This titled quest was not something easy to achieve but just getting the requirements would be an amazing feat. The experience would be a great help to each of them. However locked rewards? Why were rewards locked? Does this mean they weren't qualified to view them? What could unlock them? Would they be able to collect them after completing the quest? There were too many questions.
Once they all found each other near the front hall everyone talked at once spewing out questions statements. Sadly the ruckus was not understandable and many minutes passed before they had returned to being calm to a degree.
"So my daily quest is to help all of you so let's start with Su" walker wanted to get things rolling and head to the adventurers guild to ask for a test to rank up their tier.
"Actually my quest is to guard Remey from danger today. It specifically says to stay vigilant as I travel." Su had been standing slightly closer to Remey and now the reason was clear.
"Well mine is to demonstrate the unyielding will of a front line attacker, so if you can give me an opening for that somehow they your job is done" Remey flexed her fists as she spoke. Her eagerness for a fight was clear but walker was unsure how to complete this quest immediately.
"Well that's my turn then, my quest is to observe and spot weaknesses of the party members. This is kind of strange but since I have skills that allow me to scout it makes sense." Gill had a pensive look on his face. His eyes were fluid drifting to each member constantly.
"I'd like to say we can figure out midnights but she can't really tell us huh?" Walker knew this was a tough one but had faith midnights would be able to compete it. "I'll just have to keep an eye out and if I notice something midnight wants I'll try to help out." Walker was confident in their abilities.
"Oh I almost forgot if we're going to the guild I need to grab those rage potions to see if Barry is interested." Realizing walker had been distracted and didn't store the rage potions he resigned himself to go to the hidden study. "I'll meet you guys back here in half an hour if you want to all grab food for the walk?!" Walker turned and started heading to the library.
Easily descending the hidden stairs and getting down to the study walker stored away the the rage potions and rushed to head back.
THUDD!
Walker tripped and landed face first in the floor. "Ugh whyyyyy" walkers exclamation want heard as he was alone. He looked down wondering what he had tripped on only to find a section of the stone floor had shifted revealing an open storage space.
